DAVID H. COLES, OF NEW YORK, N. Y.

COMBINED BRAiDlNG AND CORDING ATTACHMENT FOR SEWING-MACHINES.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 318,357, dated May 19, 1885.

Application filed January 29, 1885. (No model.)

To aZZ w7wm it may concern:

Be it known that I, DAVID H. GoLns, a citizen of the United States, residing at New York, in the county and State of New York, have invented new and useful Improvements in Combined Braiding and Oording Attachments to Sewing-Machines, of which the following is a specification.

This invention consists in a presser-foot provided with a needle-hole extending transversely through it, and two independent longitudinal channels, one above the other and in advance of the needle-hole, said channels being separated by an intervening longitudinal partition, forming a part of the presserfoot, and which terminates in advance of the needle-hole; also, in a presser-foot provided with a needle-hole extending transversely through it, a braid guide situated in advance of theneedle-hole and centrally in regard to the same, and a cord-guide situated above the braid-guide and eccentrically in regard to the needle-hole.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 represents a perspective view of my attachment. Fig. 2 is a longitudinal section of the same. Fig. 3 is an end view of the same. Fig. 4: is a diagram showing the relative positions of the braid, the cord, and the needle.

Similar letters indicate corresponding parts.

In the drawings, the letter A designates the presser-foot of asewiug-machine, which is pr0- vided with the needle'hole a, extending transversely through it, and with two longitudinal channels, I) 0, one above the other and in advance of the needle-hole, said channels being separated by anintervening longitudinal partition forming a part of the pressenfoot, and which terminates in advance of the needlehole, thereby constituting independent and accurate guides for the braid and cord. The. channel b forms the braid-guide and the channel c the cord-guide; but thelast-named channel may also be used as a guide for an additional braid narrower than the braid passing through guide b, so that either a cord and a braid or two braids, one above the other, can be sewed on a garment simultaneously by the same needle. The braid-guide b is by preference placed centrally in regard to the needlehole, while the cord-gnide c is placed eccentrically in regard to the needle-hole, so that the needle in its downward movement passes through the side of the cord d and through the middle of the braid e, as indicatedin Fig. 4. W'hen the stitch is drawn tight, the cord rolls over to the middle of the braid, so as to conceal the stitch. If the cord-guideis placed centrally in regard to the needlehole, the stitch will be visible throughout the entire length of the cord, and the appearance of the work will be impaired.

It is obvious that my pressenfoot can be so constructed that it is applicable to almost all kinds of sewingmachines.

What I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

1 The presser-foot provided with a needlehole extending transversely through it, and two independent longitudinal channels, one above the other and in advance of the needlehole, said channels separated by an intervening longitudinal partition forming a part of the presser-foot and terminating in advance of the needle-hole.

2. A presser-foot provided with a needlehole extending transversely through it, a braid-guide situated in advance of the needlehole and centrally in regard to the same, and a cordguide situated above the braid-guide and eccentrically in regard to the needle-hole.

In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand andseal in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
